Errors when trying to create Proximity criterion - Unmarshalling Error: cvc-elt.4.2: Cannot resolve 'Proximity' to a type definition for element 'criterion'.

[Akil]

Hello,

My application is consistently receiving internal errors when I try to create Proximity criterion. The error message is:

Unmarshalling Error: cvc-elt.4.2: Cannot resolve 'Proximity' to a type definition for element 'criterion'.

I've attached SOAP request/response logs to this post. @API Team - is there something wrong with my request? When will this issue be resolved?

Many thanks,

Akil

Hi Akil, 

It looks like you are trying to set the Proximity criterion on an AdGroup. You can only add the proximity as a criterion on the Campaign. Please check the criteria usage sheet to see the criteria supported at each levels. You can use the CampaignCriterionService.mutate() and add the proximity on the campaign. Please check this guide for more details and code snippets. Let me know if you have any additional questions. 

Thanks,
